Why is it that when I do an ne rou add ARA4 w0ljf-4 nos 192 w0ljf-4 and then try a n c ARA4, ARA4 is treated like the real name instead of the alias, e.i., it tries to connect to ARA4 @ ARA4 and doesn't even go out over nos (nos being my symbolic name of the tnc)?

The major proviso is that he must be a licensed ham. The next is that the use of Amateur radio, in general, may not be for the purpose of replacing a common carrier such as the phone company. Third, you may not conduct business on ham radio. Your friend may have another important problem. What's the status of Singapore in terms of third party agreements? Someone out there in a position to know? -- Douglas S. Rand Internet: Snail: MITRE, Burlington Road, Bedford, MA Disclaimer: MITRE might agree with me - then again...
